SAIPAN!!!

We made it!
It was 1a.m thursday, local time, and we had been traveling for traveling for 29 straight hours, but we finally made it. It was a good thing too because I don't think that Jackie and I could have handled even one more flight.
After going through customs and picking up our baggage, we went outside and were greeted by 3 people from SCS. Mr. Winkfield (the principal), his wife, and daughter, plus a big banner and two beautiful flower headbands.
The car ride to the school wasn't exciting as it was dark and so we didn't get to see much of the island last night. We unloaded all our luggage and brought up stairs on top of the middle school building to our apartment. I'll compare our new apartment to our old apartment for those of you who have visited us in Sioux Center. The layout of the apartment is basically the same, except we have two bedrooms instead of one. We'll try to get pictures of the apt. posted once we're all moved in.
After getting our luggage in, we turned the AC on and crashed. We both slept very well too. I don't really think that we'll feel too much jet-lag because we both felt fairly well rested today.
Most of today was spent running around the village with Mr. Winkfield. We did a little shopping, got drivers liscenses, and set up a bank account. Setting up the bank account took well over an hour. I guess thats just an example of the slower pace that the island runs on.
Thanks so much to all of you who have been praying for us. Our trip here couldn't have gone better. Thanks be to God.
Love,
